The show was previously rescheduled from March 3. The scene at the WOW Hall featured an overwhelming crowd that kept the energy going until Kennedy ended his 50-minute set shortly before midnight. Many of the attendees were high school students or Portland residents who drove down to experience Kennedy in person.
